Areas of Natural Beauty

England’s biggest island isn’t only popular for its beautiful countryside and 800 kilometres of coastal footpaths for the keen cyclist and adventurous walker, but also for its 13 award-winning beaches, world class sailing events and pop music festivals. You can understand why Queen Victoria once had a holiday home here when you see the coastline's distinctive chalk ridges, which only set the scene for the abundance of natural beauty this island holds.

Easy to reach by ferry, the island is alive with Victorian seaside towns packed full of art galleries, museums, historical monuments and family attractions, such as Cowes and Ventnor. Ventnor is a splendid traditional seaside resort on the island's south coast, while Cowes, on the north coast, is globally renowned for its sailing, most notably during Cowes Week. Among the fantastic attractions worth visiting are the Isle of Wight Zoo and The Needles, a striking formation of chalk stacks rising out of the sea. The island is also well-known for its dinosaur heritage, as it is one of the top spots in all of Europe for discovering fossils.
